Asper Challenges Museum’s Palestine Exhibit | Calgary News

A major Canadian philanthropist, Gail Asper, is pulling funding from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights over its new exhibit “Palestine Uprooted,” which she claims omits critical historical context about Jewish displacement from Arab countries in 1948—potentially fueling antisemitism. While the museum defends the exhibit as spotlighting underrepresented Palestinian Canadian voices, Asper fears it undermines the museum’s mission of unity and trust. Her family’s planned donation to a Holocaust exhibit is now on hold, possibly redirected to Jewish community security. Asper urges critical engagement and calls for review, hoping dialogue can restore the museum’s integrity. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
